What are the chances that we lose Markie Post and Biz Markie so close together? I hope Marky Mark is staying safe.

Eh, I'd be okay with that one.

I went back and looked at Larroquette's tweets for "Mac" and Harry. Gotta feel bad and weird for him - he's 73 and Harry, Mac and Post died at 65, 70 and 75... all relatively young.

Although they looked and appeared to be older on the show, both Selma Diamond and Florence Halop died in their early 60's. Richard Mull "Bull" I believe to be the oldest/ longest lived of the cast to this point at age 78.

RIP. My favorite seasons of Night Court were with her in the cast. I watched some of the earlier stuff when it was trickling out on DVD but it didn’t have the same appeal. One of those shows that needed time to find its formula.

I didn't see this until today. Damn, I always LOVED Markie Post. I mean, way back - I first had a thing for her when she had that guest spot on Buck Rogers in 1980 or so. Then I liked her on The Fall Guy, and just LOVED her on Night Court.

And let's not forget her FANTASTIC turn as Electra Woman...




Ahhhh... What could have been!

Just remembered that right after Night Court ended, she starred with John Ritter, Billy Bob Thornton and Conchata Ferrell on a sitcom - "Hearts Afire".
Only Billy Bob remains.

Re: Markie Post dead at 70

She was exactly 20 years older than me, sad to see she had passed away. always enjoyed her on Nightcourt and I think I watched Fall Guy somewhat regularly when it was on but barely recall that show.

Would have loved it if say umm Cinemax had picked up Electra Woman...
